Kremlin says Western arms ‘useless’

The Kremlin warns against new Western weapons supplies, saying it would be “absolutely useless”.

“I would like to hope that the leaders of these three states and the President of Romania will not only focus on supporting Ukraine by further pumping Ukraine with weapons,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, adding that it would be “absolutely useless and will cause further damage to the country”.

  Russia’s former President Dmitry Medvedev has mocked three European heads of state visiting Ukraine: “European fans of frogs, liverwurst and spaghetti love visiting Kiev. With zero use,” he said on Twitter, referring to three stereotypes linked to France, Germany and Italy.

 

The leaders’ trip would have “zero use”, he wrote. They “promised EU membership and old howitzers to Ukraine, lushed up on gorilka [Ukrainian alcoholic drink] and went home by train, like 100 years ago”.

“Yet, it won’t bring Ukraine closer to peace. The clock’s ticking.”
